"Do you think the boy is going to be ok?" Sandersonia muttered as she was trying to look out their cell.
"Why does it matter?" Hancock looked back up from her seastone bracelets, that were generously 'given' to her.
"Well he was hurt pretty bad so I was just wondering," Sandersonia mumbled.
"I still don't see why it would matter." Hancock puffed out her cheeks while turning her head away from her.
Sandersonia was about to say something else when suddenly they heard a click as the door opened. She backed up as she tried to avoid getting hit.
"Take care of him." A personal guard of Saint Roswald called Perry grumbled as he threw Luffy in front of them.
Sandersonia nodded as Perry continued to grumble as he left the room.
"So how is he?" Marigold had apparently woken up from her little nap after their little visit had happened.
"He doesn't look good." Sandersonia felt his forehead and immediately withdrew her hand.
"You ok?" Marigold muttered in concern as she watched Sandersonia's reaction.
"Yeah but he's burning up," Sandersonia replied back.
"Have you checked his brand?" Marigold crawled towards her sister and the boy to try and help.
"No not yet but I'm going to right now." Sandersonia muttered as she uncovered the wrappings that she had put on him earlier. She suddenly gasped as she saw his wound was starting to look worse and it looked like it was starting to get an infection.
"That isn't good he needs professional medical attention." Marigold said as she was looking over Luffy as well.
"What will happen if he doesn't get help?" Sandersonia asked while she looked up at Marigold.
"The infection will most likely get worse and he'll die." Marigold looked into her sisters eyes as she told her.
"He's hurt please help him!" Sandersonia shook her head in denial about the little boy dying as she hoped someone would hear her shouts and come to help.
"They're not going to come." Hancock mumbled out as she looked over at them with concern and a little bit of sorrow in her eyes even though she quickly hid it.
Sandersonia didn't seem to be listening though as she kept on shouting for help.
"Sister it's time to stop." Marigold muttered about after five minutes of her sister's shouts for help began.
Sandersonia didn't stop though, and just as Marigold was going to try and stop her their cell door suddenly opened up.
"What are you girls yapping on about?" Perry shouted as he walked into thier cell.
"Please help him." Sandersonia pushed Luffy towards him a bit.
"Why should I?" Perry grumbled as he stared down at all the brats.
"Because he could die if you don't!" Sandersonia shouted as she started to get upset that he didn't seem to care that somebody was dying.
"So?" Perry had an uncaring look on his face as he started turning around getting ready to leave.
Suprisingly it was Hancock who spoke up next. "He's also a new slave that is Saint Roswald's daughter's first slave, so I wouldn't imagine they would be to happy if he died before they could play with him."
"What?" Perry turned back around.
"You heard me." Hancock scoffed as she gave the idiot guard an annoyed glance.
"Don't give me that kind of attitude little girl." Perry growled back as he leaned down and grabbed onto Luffy roughly and started walking out the cell.
"Do you think he'll be alright?" Sandersonia said as she watched their cell door slam shut.
"I'm sure he'll be fine," Marigold replied.
Perry continued to walk through the halls grumbling to himself about how he was a guard that was hired to protect one of the great saints not babysitting little brats. He finally came to a halt in front of a room that had no door. Inside the room looked like a unicorn threw up in it, in other words every mans nightmare and every little girls dream. The room was covered in pink from top to bottom, literally even the medical equipment was pink. I mean come on who the heck does that? Then don't even get started on the sparkles and bedazzling on the wall. Then as the star decoration of the room, there was a gigantic poster of Shalulia hugging an ugly stuffed pink unicorn tightly.
Perry shook his head in disgust as he continued to walk into the room.
"Hello do you need help?" A doctor named Fully, who was in pink scrubs came up to him.
"Yes can you please help this little brat?" Perry brought up Luffy to Fully's eye level.
"I have to get Saint Roswald's permission to check him over." Fully replied as he went over his desk to grab a Den Den Mushi that was also covered in pink and bedazzled with all types of jewels.
Perry watched as the doctor seemed to get more annoyed as he continued to talk over the phone.
Fully hung up the Den Den Mushi after about five minutes of talking.
"So do you have permission?"
"Saint Roswald wants to personally come down here to see the slave before I start with any examination."
"Ok." Perry put Luffy down onto the pink bed as he started to walk around the room looking at every horrid little detail. "So did you decorate the room?"
"No that was Saint Shalulia's 'suggestion'." Fully muttered back.
"Ah that makes a lot more sense." Perry nodded his head. He was about to ask another question when somebody suddenly came into the room.
"Where's the slave?" Roswald asked with a serious expression on his face.
"He's right there." Fully pointed to Luffy.
"Yeah he is." Perry nodded as he also pointed in Luffy's direction.
"Who are you?' Roswald muttered looking confused.
"Oh I'm Perry Sir, it's an honor to meet you." Perry bowed down.
"I don't care who you are, get out now!" Roswald shouted furious.
"Yes Sir." Perry saluted as he rushed out of the room.
"So what's wrong with him?" Roswald asked as he walked towards the bed.
"I thought you wanted me to wait for you to start the examination?" Fully looked confused as he walked towards Luffy.
"No I wanted you to wait for me to start any treatments!" Roswald yelled, mad that the doctor hadn't listened to him.
"I'm so sorry please forgive me." Fully bowed in his direction.
"Just do the examination already." Roswald growled out as he watched the doctor get up and start looking over Luffy.
"He has a really high fever and is starting to get an infection in his brand mark, since the flesh hasn't had time to heal yet." Fully told him as he stuck a thermometer into Luffy's mouth.
"So he'll be fine right?" Roswald looked like he didn't understand a word or just wasn't listening.
"Most likely yes, since we caught the infection before it got bad but open wounds are a funny thing, one minute a person can be fine and then the next you're bringing them to a morgue." Fully said while he took the thermometer out of Luffy's mouth and saw it read one hundred and five degrees fahrenheit.
"This is my daughter's birthday gift so you better not let it die on the first day she gets it!" Roswald snapped at the doctor as he left the room.
Meanwhile off in another part in the world.
"Where are they?" Garp shouted as he crushed one of his rice crackers.
"I'm sorry Vice Admiral Garp, but we lost track of them." A marine shouted as he saluted Garp.
"Well find them then!" Garp shouted out.
"Yes Sir." The marine shouted while he saluted him again and then ran off into another direction on the ship.
Garp clenched his fists in frustration as he decided it would be a good idea to pick up a cannonball and throw it at something to release his anger. Dang it this was all his fault! Why didn't he just listen to Makino and Woop Slap that day? Now his only blood related grandson in the whole entire world was missing and he was pretty sure he wasn't ever going to get another one. Honestly he didn't know how Luffy happened in the first place either? Hmm that was a good question. Anyway that isn't the point his grandson was missing and he barely had any leads onto where he could be.
"Sir can you please not throw cannonballs at the new recruits." One of his higher ranking officers on the boat came up to him just as he threw another cannonball which sailed right past another marine.
"Why? It's a good training lesson in learning how to dodge quick." Garp replied back as he grabbed another cannonball and threw it at an unsuspecting cook. Sadly the cook had just come out to take a break from cooking.
"Is he ok?" The officer asked with a glance at Garp.
"Eh he'll be fine." Garp shrugged as he turned around for another cannonball. "Now what are you standing here for, didn't I give everyone a job to do earlier?"
""Sir yes Sir." He shouted back as he ran off.
Garp continued to think about what happened to his dear grandson and what happened after his disappearance.
Flashback - About a month ago
Garp continued to munch on some donuts in the Partys Bar.
"Garp don't you think you should check up on Luffy now?" Makino asked while looking at him and wiping the bar down.
"Hmmm Luffy?" Garp choked out while accidentally spitting out food all over the bar.
"Yeah its been awhile since you started the training," Makino replied.
"How long have I been here anyway?" Garp mumbled as he looked at all the dirty plates in the back as well as the ones next to him.
"Eight hours." Makino grabbed some more dishes off the table and put them in the sink.
"What eight hours already?" Garp stated in disbelief as he gulped down another donut.
"Yeah, actually it's probably been almost nine." Makino started washing the dishes to ease her nerves as she felt something was wrong.
"I'll be right back Makino." Garp replied as he stood up while leaving his plate of donuts on the bar top. He ran out of the bar as he couldn't help but feel a queasy feeling in his stomach that told him something was wrong.
"Hey Garp is Luffy done training yet?" One of the villagers waved to him.
Garp ignored the villager as he continued to run through the small village looking to see if Luffy had landed yet.
"Have any of you seen Luffy or any balloons yet?" Garp asked a small group of villagers that were gossiping about something.
"No isn't Luffy supposed to be training with you?" One of the women asked while starting to look concerned.
"He is." Garp growled out as he turned around and left, upset that they didn't know anything yet either. Darn it, those balloons probably didn't even have eight hours of air left in them when he started Luffy's training. Luffy should have come down now unless something went wrong. No nothing was wrong, Luffy must have gotten lost or hurt himself again. Maybe he should go ask the Dadan bandits if they could search the forest for him?
Just as Garp was about to head down to the forest he felt a tug on his leg.
"What is it?" Garp snapped out irritably as he stared down at the little kid that was bugging him. The kid looked to be about a couple years older than Luffy with blonde hair and hazel eyes.
"I saw some balloons earlier Mister." The kid stated as she looked up at Garp with fear in her eyes.
"Where?" Garp rushed out as he looked down at the little brat.
"At the beach where Momma took me earlier to go play." She replied just as her mother came up and grabbed her.
"Garp what do you need?" The mother asked as she put her daughter behind her.
"Nothing now, thanks brat." Garp yelled as he ran down to the beach.
Garp didn't even bother being subtle as he used Soru to arrive there right away. He looked around as he decided to look near the edge of the beach where things usually wash up. Something caught his eye as he walked over there. It looked like a bunch of colors jumbled together with some strings floating about. He leaned down to get a better look at it in the dark and just as he feared it appeared to be the balloons he used for Luffy's training earlier.
Garp started to panic as he thought about how his dear grandson was possibly drowning right now. He hurriedly grabbed all the pile of the deflated/popped balloons in his hands and yanked on them hoping Luffy was still tied to them and he hadn't been in the water for to long. All he pulled out though was algae and a tree branch. Honestly Garp didn't know whether he was happy that he didn't pull out the dead body of his grandson or if he was upset that he still hadn't found Luffy.
He started to think about why Luffy wasn't still tied to the balloons until he realized that Luffy could still be drowning so he suddenly jumped into the water to go start searching for him.
Flashback - End
Garp remembered the panic he felt as he was searching and the time kept ticking on as his search results produced absolutely nothing. He was in the water for hours, even though he kept having to go back up for breath every couple of minutes. Then he remembered what happened when he finally came out of the water.
Flashback- A couple hours after the last flashback
Garp gasped for air as he stuck his head out of the water again so he could breathe and take a quick break. Just as he was about to go back under someone called his name. He looked in the direction at where he thought he heard the voice and saw Woop Slap on the beach.
Garp decided to talk to him as he started to swim back to the beach.
"Garp!" Woop Slap shouted as he looked furious.
"Yes?" Garp walked out of the sea with water dripping off of him as he was soaking wet.
"Where's Luffy?" Woop Slap asked him with a accusing look on his face.
"I don't know." Garp sight as he knew he wasn't going to be able to lie to him.
"You don't know?" Woop Slap gritted out. "You don't know!"
Garp shook his head no as he looked down with some water dripping down his cheeks. If you asked Garp he would say it was from the sea but if you ask anybody else Garp was starting to cry.
"You said everything would be alright Garp but how could everything be alright when Luffy's missing?" Woop Slap yelled as he looked like he was ready to punch Garp.
"I'm going to find him." Garp mumbled back as he clenched his fists.
"You better as you're not allowed back in my village until you find him." Woop Slap replied back with a bitter look on his face as he started to turn around and leave.
"I'll find him!" Garp shouted back as he got out his Den Den Mushi to call for help.
Flashback - End
Garp still had that horrific day etched into his memory and he was sure he would never forget it.
"We found another lead." Bogart said as he came up to him.
Garp nodded as he clenched down the object that was in his hands.
"We'll find him Garp." Bogart nodded as he handed him another report.
"Yes we will and whoever took him is going to pay." Garp mumbled out as he grabbed the report and opened his hands to stare down at the part of a flag is his hands that had a WE on it with the other part of it missing.
